Guessing this gets pursued with the same vigor the NCAA, which can access bank records, deployed looking into how Trent Richardson, then an unemployed father of two, was able to get pulled over in a $40,000 SUV and blame his large rims for throwing off the speedometer.

The veneer is the important thing, for the sport and majority of the media that covers it.
